Guest Angus MacVox Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Google rocks, Lexis-Nexus rocks but you have to pay for it. But neither I think compare to the innovation Amazon.com has just wrought. FULL TEXT SEARCHING of thousands of books (and soon all of them)... and when you use your amazon login and password you can view the entire page and several surrounding page. You can't even do this at your local University library folks, this is a librarians wet dream. Right now you can go on Amazon.com and search through pirate books, or, like I just did, Penthouse Letters It's a whole new world. Here's an article about it: http://slate.msn.com/id/2090298/ But better yet, go try it out!! http://www.amazon.com
Rosalinda Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 That's WAY cool, Angus! Now we can pirate copywrited text with a few simple keystrokes!!! Excellent work, Sir! Bloody good job!
Guest Angus MacVox Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 I wish I could accept your congrats, but I didn't invent it On a side note, I bet this will increase the instances of plagiarism sightings in published works... it will be so easy to see how particular phrases are used and cited.
Deacon Frye Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Very interesting. Thanks for calling that to our attention, Angus.
El Pirata Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 I might be interested in the Penthouse Letters... Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
El Pirata Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 What, ye be interested in the penthouse letters too? Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
Deacon Frye Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 A world of knowledge at their disposal, and what do they look for? The Penthouse letters. Pirates!
El Pirata Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 A world of knowledge at their disposal, and what do they look for?The Penthouse letters. Pirates! Yup, that be us... Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.
Cap'n Coyote Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Very cool! I have already been able to find several books I read many years ago, but couldn't remember the names of. Thank you, Angus! Rumors of my death were right on the money.
